Patapon review from Boomtown

'Patapon gets under your skin from the word go. Pata-pata-pata-pon. Within seconds I found myself tapping my foot, grinning ludicrously as my combo level rose and my tiny hunting party of Yaripon advanced through the shimmering blue grasses of Patata Plain. Seldom does the audio take such primacy in a videogame nowadays- an unfortunate developer oversight, given that music is among the most immediately accessible forms of expression. The first thing I did upon completing the demo was to play through it again for the benefit of my girlfriend, and we were humming the beat for the rest of the evening. Chaka-chaka-pata-pon.'
